Stargate was born out of a movie(albeit made for television). Star Trek was born out of a TV show.

Stargate relates present time with interplanetary travel via magical and mysterious interstellar mobility. Star Trek takes us into the future where anything is possible.

Stargate relates us to our Earth-based mysteries of the Ancients of Egypt, Easter Island, and the South American Tribes. Start Trek is a space-based multicultural exploration of places we have little or no relation.

Stargate depends upon a single gadget of enormous value found by chance. Star Trek depends upon generations of human interaction, participation, experimentation and creation.

Stargate was a theatrical release (1994). It didn't become a TV series until a few years later, after the movie did well. The gould (whatever, the spellings wrong) didn't exist in the original movie, the alien "Ra" was the last of his race supposedly. They had to retcon bits from the movie to make the series.

Oh- comparison depends on which Stargate & which Star Trek. I mean anything beats "the Search for Spock"...

Summer Glau is a goddess.

I believe that of the fifty million playa rumors, one of the more credible ones involves Patrick Stewart on the playa several years ago.Figures. The Federation is a bunch of fuckin' socialists anyway. It won't make any difference. I'm an Alien fan. Can't wait for Prometheus this fall.

Whoa! Whoa! Lexx had a lot of social commentary about excess, theology, and consumerism. Heck! The redneck meat episode makes me think of burners every time I watch it. Now an hilarious tv show would be Space:1999, or Buck Rogers (when spiced with 70s experimental film *cough* orgy films on lsd *cough*) ...
